You know that “mom” voted for Trump in 2016

Why? While the post could maybe be read as a condemnation of the daughter, it could equally be read as condemning medical professionals and/or politicians legislating women's bodies.

I read it as a mom supporting her daughter and being exasperated with the system. I didn't even realize it could be read the other way.

It can be read either way, but I checked her post history and she's no Trump supporter.

And to me it's even simpler than that. It's a parent noticing the state of the country means kids aren't sharing what used to be standard answers to biological questions because there's no faith that the system won't stay out of their business.

Scary AF imho.

We don't know that at all.

I rather assumed that mom was the one who told her to keep her mouth shut,
